Common questions
Are the crews insured?
We connect you with independent, insured local tree care operators — and for tree work we recommend verifying both liability and workers' comp certificates yourself; our guide explains the quick checks (Iowa has no statewide tree-care license).
Do I need the city's permission to remove a tree in Des Moines?
Trees in the public right-of-way (between sidewalk and street) are typically city-managed, and some Iowa cities require permits for their removal or work near them. Trees fully on private property are generally yours to manage — when in doubt, one call to the city forester settles it.
When is the right time to prune trees in Des Moines?
Late winter dormancy is the healthiest window for most structural pruning in Iowa — wounds close quickly in spring and disease pressure is low. Oaks especially should not be pruned in the growing season, to avoid attracting oak wilt vectors.
